Abstract
This Note argues that the United States needs to come to a compromise with Mexico over Mexico’s request for information concerning interest paid by U.S. banks to residents of Mexico. The United States could ignore Mexico’s request, but that may create animosity between the two nations. Alternatively, the United States could fully comply with Mexico’s request; however, that may lead to strong opposition from the banking sector. It is in the best interest of the United States to model its compromise on the recent compromise between the United States and Switzerland. While there are issues with this compromise that would need to be resolved first, a similar compromise would be a good initial step for two countries that would have a lot to lose if this interest information request cannot be resolved.
